Lancaster

Description

The Lancaster boot is handmade in one of Mexico's best cowboy boot factories, and uses their own tough leathers built upon a thick, sturdy leather sole and a 1" stacked leather heel. A rebellious boot, already a favorite with the rough riders, the Lancaster is a revolutionary ankle zip-up boot with two buckle straps that wrap around the sole and instep and will make you a legend in your own right.

best. boots. ever.

Berenice - Boston

Hottest, most kick-ass, most comfortable boots I may ever hope to have. Thank you, Fluevog.

Rocking my new Lancasters

Alissa Neufeld - Canada

I am a women's 8- 8.5 and these men's size 6 are absolutely perfect especially since I have a very high insole. The fit is amazing as is the new leather smell !! Love the square toe and low heel. These boots were made for walking for sure. Thank You !

Wicked Sharp

Eric - ManchVegas, NH

I just bought these on sale...they arrived today. Now I've been a 'voger for years, this was my 10th shoe purchase...hands down, BEST SHOES EVER!!! WOW, I'm blown away....comfortable (though a little roomy...) as hell, and did I say they look wicked sharp...nice pair of jeans and you truly are a rock star! Price was a steal for these boots...I know I'll get 10 years out of them...easy!!! Great job on these Mr. Fluevog!!! Impressive!!!

Favourite boots!

Laura - Utica, NY

I have had these for a little over a month now, give or take a few days, and I absolutely adore them! I can't stop wearing them! The buckles make a very satisfying jingle when I walk, and they smell so good.
I bought these in blue in a size 9 (women's), and they're a little big, but an insole actually helped that.
These are by far the most sexy and comfy boots (that aren't fuzzy or with a gigantic heel) that I own. They're my fourth, and probably favourite, pair of Fluevogs so far. Can't wait to try more of the Warwick family! @>-

possibly better than flipflops

Jennifer - tampa fl

living in florida one forgets that there are more options in footwear than flipflops or stripper heels. i'd been eyeballing these boots for months for their sheer awesomeness, and now that they're mine, i can't take them off! they're super comfortable and look awesome with jeans of any style. i did add an insole as they run big, but that addition just keeps my food from shifting around quite so much. unfortunately, much like a drug, now that i've had a taste of the fluevog magic, i can't wait for another....

Nice!

fatmaggot - Somewhere awesome

These boots are so sexy, they deserve to be made in an oxblood red.....or dark burgundy ,-) >-)

Absolutely made for walking

The Rotund - Orlando, FL

Bought these in Toronto (my first visit to that store) on a day trip - service was awesome and these shoes came back across the border with me. Honestly, they've never struck my fancy on the website but in person the teal color is rich and textured. The whole boot is made of coolness.

These do run big - I got a men's 5 and it's just about perfect. Difficult to get into at first (especially with Hanes socks) but that's because the leather is so thick and sturdy.

From the top, these are a little funny looking - but they aren't really puffy; it's the way the straps wrap. The buckles jingle slightly when I walk and I feel both very tough (in my pretty teal shoes) and very rad. As much as I love heels, there's something very empowering and stable about a boot like this. Wear these to stand your ground.

Not my Favorites

Eva - Joshua Tree CA

I've wanted these for a long time. Finally worked an overtime and felt I could justify the expense. I have many other Fluevogs. Some bought used on Ebay and some bought new at the Hollywood store. I ordered these on line without a try on. I like the blue but not crazy about these boots in person. They run really big and the top is puffy and loose. I'm bring to figure out if I can modify the straps so they won't look so fat and puffy while wondering if I should send them back for a smaller size or a different style. I wanted and expected to love them but I sadly do not (:`(

Lancaster

jimmy johnson - chicago

the coolest boots i ever owned

Total RockStar SexMonster Boots

Kate - New Orleans

I started stalking these boots about a year and a half ago and ended up ordering them to arrive on Xmas eve last year.
They're utterly beautiful.
I'm one of those girls who wears primarily black clothes, shoes, etc., but when I saw these in blue, I simply couldn't hold myself back. They arrived and were just as beautiful in person. When I dream, I see blue leather skies the color of these boots.
--------------
I did have to get them adjusted by my local cobbler, as they were a bit tight going on, and the bridge/toe box was a bit snug. I might have been better to order a half-size up. But after they were fixed, I wore them all throughout Mardi Gras, walked miles and miles in them, including walking an entire parade route with the Krewe of Chewbacchus, and never got a blister. I didn't even have to put insoles in them. Fabulous.
Mr. Fluevog, once again, you never cease to amaze me.

rock n roll

Chelsea Lahmers - United States

I normally wear a womens 9.0, but my toe box is so wide that I generally end up more comfortable in the mens version of any given shoe or boot. The Fluevog-er that handled my order suggested that I order these boots in size 6 instead of the 7 that I had ordered, due to them running very large. OK! Let's do it! The size 6 boots arrived and fit great from the front to back of my foot, but not so great in the toe box. I thought about this problem for quite a while b/c I really wanted these boots to work out...they looked far too awesome to give up on them, but the next size up would likely see me swimming in it. Therefore I found a local shoe repair person, he put the boots in the stretcher, and voila! Now they fit GREAT!

I get loads of comments on these incredibly rock and roll boots, and they make a small but very satisfying jingle when I walk. Perfect heel, great height.

Suddenly I'm a god

Jay - Saskatoon, SK

First, I'm a dude. I think most of these reviews are by girls, but these are really dude boots. I tried to buy a pair in NYC, but they were all out, so I got on the phone to Calgary when I came home, and they sent me a pair that arrived in, like, two days. As everybody else says, they fit a whole size BIG. I wear a 9 or 9.5 and I bought these in 8. They were hard to pull onto my feet, but once I got them on they fit PERFECTLY.

Now I wear them every day. I've had to go pants shopping so I could have more narrow-legged pants to show off the rock'n'roll of my Lancasters. Not to exaggerate, but I put them on and suddenly I'm a god. No; I'm serious.

tripping through the fall leaves

Ramine - Ottawa

I purchased these boots on sale in an Ottawa store - so surprised to find them here - and so happy with them. They only had a men's size 5, and they fit my normal size 7 foot very well - maybe a tad on the big size, but I like my boots a bit bigger, the fit is still right. With an insole they are really comfortable and look so amazing with jeans, bootcut and skinny. The leaves are falling, it's been a bit rainy, the wind is kicking up - these boots fit right in! i had been looking for a pair of biker boots that are not too "fashionista", and was contemplating Frye's - but am much more happy with these.

Ready for a shindig

Natasha - Ottawa

My mom picked these up for me during her trip to Vancouver (she is awesome and has a fantastic taste in shoes- it must be genetic, right?). Her feet are a size smaller than mine, so she bought them big. They are a big fit, but amazingly comfy and feel perfect right out of the box. It's worth wearing a little thicker socks to walk around in these babies.
And I absolutely love the buckles! I feel like I've stepped right out of a western whenever I hear them.
They're perfect with jeans and a tee, but are also going to be the centerpiece of my next steampunk outfit P-). I can't wait to show them off!

Mmmm...these smell good!

Gen - Lake Forest Park/London

The nice people at the Seattle store helped with the sizing of these, and I got the size 6 men's for my size 8.5 women's type foot. When they arrived, first of all, I sat around sniffing them :-) then fondled them...finally I put them on. They were slightly bulky in the instep, but an insole (I walk a lot anyway, so it's good) and punching a few holes in the straps with an awl and mallet to cinch them up a titch gave a great fit! They take a little breaking in, but surprisingly little. The petrol blue is beautiful. This is real old-time Mexican boot craft, and is the Universal Boot: masculine on men, gorgeous on women, comfortable for everyone.

Great Boots

Anna N - Salt Lake City

Thanks to Peter L at the Boston store for handling the ordering process and for finding some shoes in the same family for me to try on when the store didn't have these in stock. I love my new boots!

sexy bootz

erick - Toronto

I love these boots! I first saw them while visiting the Gas Town location and it was the beginning of a 6 month pursuit. Tried to get them in Montreal but they were sold out of the black. I wasn't sure if I was a size 10 or a size 9, and there was apparently only a size 9 available in all of Canada. I figured it was worth the gamble and ordered them to be delivered to the Toronto store. Lo and behold, the nine fit like a glove and a new era was born. I feel like a new man! ,->

Wicked boots

Rick - Boulder, CO

Comfortable out of the box, and ridiculously high style.

I wore these while playing guitar in the bi-annual mariachi concert at the local university (the first time in 5 years that I did not wear my old, but mint, Fluevog Boys), and was complimented on my boots by the pro mariachis dressed to the nines in their charros!

In addition to being mariachi-approved, they are also rock-approved.

These boots make a LOUD statement

Jared Queen - Cincinnati, OH

Seriously, these boots are loud as hell! Not just the heavenly petrol blue color but also the incredible design. The fit is a little large for me and the leather is a little tough, but I can already tell that I will be own these shoes for a long, long time. Men, women, children, lo -- everyone -- cower before these not-so-dainty beauts! Whether I'm dressed up for the office or dressed down for the club -- these boots have got my back. Thanks again Mr. Fluevog for making an interesting pair of boots that cater to my individuality.

I fought the law...

Kellie - Okotoks

Some people see dead people, I hear shoes. Sometimes they whisper sweet nothings, sometimes they beg, others scream to be put out of their misery but never ever has footwear sung to me. Until the day I laid eyes on the Lancaster's. Since that fateful meeting the Clash's "I fought the law" has been running through my head. It got so bad that I ordered myself a pair. They arrived yesterday and they are beautiful...and sexy bad. I'd say they fit a half size bigger then the rest of my Vog's but nothing that an insole didn't fix. I do wish that there were a few extra holes in the straps so that I could tighten them up a bit more but all in all they are WICKED!

Lisbeth Salander

Julie - BC

I bought these boots in the Gastown location in Vancouver. I tried on many, many pairs, because I have some shoes, but my big calves have prevented me from wearing the boots, so far, and I fell in love with the fit and colour of these boots! I just finished reading the first two books in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, and I felt like I was channelling my new heroin, wore them to my book club to show them off, and even in my conservative small town, a fellow mom at a PAC meeting, said, "great boots!" I had a non-skid bottom put on for wearing in the ice and snow, and can't wait to walk around the city in them again. thanks fluevog!

Fabulous

Margaret - Toronto

I picked up my boots at the Queen Street store on Saturday - they were sent from Montreal. They were so comfortable, I wore them out to dinner on Saturday night. They look amazing with my denim skirt!

VinnyL

Very nice boots! I just got mine a couple of days ago, and wore them all day walking the streets of NYC. They are fairly true to size (I'm a 10 men's), and the blue color definitely stands out. My only suggestion would be that they add a pull tab at the back of the top of the boot to help you get in on your foot.

Many thanks to Rachel at the Boston store for all her groovy rad help!

marie arsenault - ottawa. canada

Hi there I just received my wonderful Lancaster boots,love, love, love them and it is my birthday what a great gift to myself...yeah

Drool Worthy!

RC - Seattle

I got these as an early birthday present for myself at the Seattle store. The associates were so nice and very helpful, giving me candid advice and opinions on the shoes I was deciding upon. We all universally decided these were the best. The blue is a little darker than the web photo would suggest. It is like a distressed version of the petrol color seen in some of the other lines. I sized down in vogland to my normal size and they are perfect. I got a 9, but usually wear a 9.5-10.5 in vogs.
The quality is superb and they are so comfortable right outside the box. I like that they give me a tough, but feminine edge when wearing with tights and a skirt. They'd be equally awesome with jeans.
